Sun City TV to air new programs

Sun City TV is getting a makeover. Starting Monday, Sun City’s television station will have a new schedule, new programs and a new news hour.

Volunteer anchors and reporters are getting more airtime. Every week, the Sun City TV news crew will bring residents a full hour of community news. Sun City news will include incident reports, event coverage, sports, entertainment and informative stories.

WTOC will continue to give the weather report every day. SunScoop, the director’s report, will be updated twice a month and will run in the latter part of every news hour. Sun City TV News airs every day at 7 a.m., 10 a.m., 7 p.m. and 10 p.m.

New schedule

The Sun City TV schedule will be a bit easier to follow. Time slots will be dedicated to certain programs Monday through Sunday. However, different episodes of some programs — Money Talks, Forum Club, Meet the Author and others — will be rotated every day. Check page 16 in the September issue of SunSations for the new schedule. The Sun City TV schedule will run in every SunSations magazine and can be found on the community website.

New programs

New health and wellness, public safety and community programs are coming to the Sun City TV airwaves.

The new programs are:

• Cooking: Join residents twice a day for cooking demonstrations.

• Health and wellness: Tune in for a video version of N3: Naturally Nutritious Notes, testimonials from aerobics class participants and other special programs such as coverage of Fitness Boot Camp, Weigh to Go, Beaufort-Jasper Active Adult Challenge and more.

• Public safety: The public safety committee will bring community service-orientated safety tips and rebroadcasts of their special seminars.

• Community programming and special shows: Community Association meetings, workshops and special seminars will continue to be broadcast, along with new special shows. Some of these will be informative, such as the severe weather show that’s currently on the air, and others will be documentary-style programming, such as the Mighty 8th Museum show. There will be a few new special shows a year; stay tuned to SunSations and eNews Weekly for announcements.

Between the Lines, City Beat, Leaders of the Lowcountry, and WHHI’s Bluffton News and Girl Talk will continue to air daily. Check the schedule for times.
